Pregnancy pillows?

I'm just entering my second trimester and on the lookout for a decent pregnancy pillow.
First pregnancy, do have a dodgy hip which prevents me sleeping for long periods on my left side (although I've been working on slowly building this up as I'm already finding I need to toss and turn through the night!)
See so many mixed reviews online so thought here maybe a good place to ask
Thanks in advance!

I have the dreamgenii pregnancy and feeding support pillow and I like it. It’s not too expensive. I had it for my last dc during pregnancy and found it really handy for positioning the baby for breastfeeds too.

I had a kally sleep pillow but after struggling with my hip and after speaking to my physio I was best with a separate pillow (a large memory foam for me) which means your hips legs are parallel and no drop of the hip which causes a problem. I would suggest this if your hip is causing a problem. Also I have a softer pillow to cuddle at the top (not pregnant now though!) and super comfortable.

I really rate the bbhugme. I didn't want too as I thought it was overpriced and found it weird how all the reviews were so positive but I have to admit, it really has been a godsend. I bought a cheaper one on Vinted and bought a new cover which made it a bit cheaper

BBhugme, expensive but going strong 4 years later.

I bought a cheap wedge pillow from Amazon with the main aim of it just stopping me from rolling on to my back (I’m usually a back sleeper). I didn’t want a huge pillow in the bed. It’s now going through my second pregnancy. Later on when I need a bit more support I also use an extra normal pillow on my lower legs just to prop it up.

+1 for the bbhugme. On my second pregnany and it's been a lifesaver. You can use it as a nursing pillow too.
